Report Extra Credit Guidelines

IMPORTANT: Although this is YOUR paper and you must do the revising and typing yourself, it is
okay to use your mom and dad as a reasonable resource. This is especially true to make sure you
have not made grammar, spelling, or punctuation mistakes. (YOU must still do all the fixingand it
still needs to be clear that you did the writing.) Make sure you have carefully checked your basic
paper for any errors before starting on extra credit.


IMPORTANT: Extra credit points will only be give IF basic requirements are all met. So it is
most important to concentrate on doing a thorough job on the basic requirements. Dont rush
through the basic requirements just to get started on the extra credit part. You could end up doing
3 or 4 extra credit items and end up without any extra pointsyou dont want that to happen!


IMPORTANT: Two extra elements are required and are NOT considered extra credit.


IMPORTANT: In order to begin on extra credit, you must get an approval signature by the
teacher in your agenda. The teacher will look at your basic requirements on your Google Doc to see
if they are complete.


KEEP IN MIND: It is possible to get up to a 3+ without extra credit. This happens when you
spend a lot of time making sure that your paragraphs are well written and have no errors. (In fact,
extra effort on the writing alone can earn you extra credit points.) A grade of 4 requires a
significant amount of extra credit points.


FYI: How much extra credit points you get for any one item depends
on the effort you put into it.
